Invitation to Bid -Sumter County Primary Reroofing

The Sumter County Board of Education is seeking bids for a comprehensive reroofing project at the Sumter County Primary School located in Americus, Georgia. The procurement is a formal Invitation to Bid (ITB) process with sealed bids due on April 3, 2025, at 3:00 P.M. at the Board of Education office. The project scope involves removing existing single-ply roofing, flashing, and insulation from the Elementary School Kitchen and replacing it with a new PVC membrane roofing system, including rigid insulation, membrane-coated flashing, and pre-finished metal flashing. Additional related work includes replacing ceiling tiles, grids, lights, speakers, and HVAC diffusers in the kitchen and cafeteria serving lines. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid bond, and the contract will be awarded on a lump-sum basis. A mandatory pre-bid project site visit is scheduled for March 12, 2025, at 11:00 AM at 123 Learning Lane. Bids must remain open for 60 days after the bid opening, and the owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive technicalities.

The procurement does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must follow the Georgia Vendor Manual and state procurement laws, submitting bids on the prescribed bid form without modifications. The successful bidder will be required to provide performance and payment bonds, each equal to 100% of the contract price. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant investment in school infrastructure renovation. Material specifications allow for some flexibility, with Addendum No. 1 specifically approving Sika Sarnafill as an acceptable roofing material in addition to the originally specified PVC roofing system. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of the addendum on their bid form, with failure to do so potentially resulting in bid rejection. The project represents a substantial maintenance and upgrade effort for the Sumter County Primary School's facilities.
